Deepin, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu
Linux is an open source operating system based on UNIX. There are many types of Linux operating systems available today, but there were several resemblances between different Linux systems. All Linux systems use the Linux kernel. Deepin, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu are three of the many Linux distributions.
Deepin is based on Ubuntu, which provides many benefits. Additionally, any packages that you find online that made for Ubuntu can be installed in Deepin without any concerns. Deepin is not very popular but users can feel good using it. Danny Steiben (2014) states that “One of the biggest benefits of using Deepin that it does not have a Unity desktop environment …show more content…

To install Deepin, download the ISO image, write it to a USB drive, and then configure your BIOS to boot from the USB drive that on a computer's hard drive. Swapnii Bhartiya (2015) states, “Deepin does have its problems. One of the biggest issues is the speed of the update monitors. The terminal in the taskbar must be kept installed on the computer. The user will have to enter a bunch of commands if it is turned off.” The most interesting of them all is the Deepin Software Center. This is not just a re-skin of Ubuntu Software Center (USC), but a complete rebuild with more useful features. The user will be trying out the distribution in a live environment where they can play around with it as much as they want and it will not make any permanent changes to your computer. Deepin is a very interesting distribution from Linux for new users to try out. Deepin may just be another modified distro based on Ubuntu, but there is no doubt that the developers have put in efforts to make it an elegant and usable distribution. Some of the design work and software, such as the Deepin Software Center and Deepin-scrot are excellent and is something that new users can learn from …show more content…

The improvements do continue today. Jack Wallen (TechRepublic, 2012) writes, “With Kubuntu Unity's Dash, when you run a search, the search results will include items that can be purchased from Amazon.com.” When you do search in Dash, Unity will give you an interactive view of the results. You can show the in its folder or play the file. If the file is a document, the view will allow you to open the containing folder. Remote login has three options: User Login, Guest Session, and Remote Login. The Remote Login allows you to set up remote connections, which the user can then log onto from the login screen. The user can gain fast access to the remote machines. Kubuntu has Web services integrated into the Launcher and the Dash, making well connected interfaces. The simplest example of this is the ability to have the arrival of Gmail announced in the notification area. Once the user authenticated the online account with Unity, they can search their Google Apps account from within the Dash and open files with simple
